So I almost got killed today...again...

Since it's becoming a daily occurance around here, I'll spare you the details. Lets keep a running count as to how many people have near death experiences while driving to and fro. Starting now...that's 1.

There's nothing to take a picture of. I'm just passing some dude in a friggin pick up truck (part of a group of cars) and he desides to change lanes and KILL ME. So I slammed on the brakes, and horn and he decided better of it. He waves like he's sorry and I moved on. This happens to me almost daily...people just aren't paying attention and swerve into my lane. At least this guy wasn't on his cell phone which is usually the cause.

Happens here too. What I hate is when I'm in the left lane, light is green, but at the end of the road next to the light there's a new lane that turns left and their lights are red (with an arrow)... so you got 1-2 new left lanes, their light is red and here I am zooming through my lane (at speed limit) and at the last second someone in that left turning lane decides that they don't want to wait or changed their mind and switched back into the straight lane I'm in w/o checking for oncoming cars and I have to avoid them

Well if you can't supply a pic of the near miss accident...then you can at least give us some kind of pic...something...anything would do.

I'm sorry, I was just in a teasing mood. Don't take what I said as any offense.

I thought it would be obvious I was being sarcastic...pics aren't required for a thread like this, of course not right?

Sounds like we need to put big orange safety flags on your car.
